Psycho, Gore, Psycho, Gore and more Psycho~! That is what I would say if I need to sum the movie up super quick. For those who has watched the previous 2 installments of Hannibal, the third one is very much a step back in time...and I mean way back in time. A bit of disappointment when Anthony Hopkins is not featured not even a cameo. But I guess that's not the let down.
What is the let down seems to be the acting by Gong Li. Its too 2 dimensional. She seems to frigid and lacking depth. Mind you that the character she holds is pivotal on how Hannibal becomes a darker person to seek revenge on his sister and later on becoming a serial killer.
On a local note I am glad the Finas is finally knowing what to cut and what not to cut. I figure the scissor happy snippers of past have been let off or perhaps died of old age. So the local cinemas goer may enjoy tastefully censored movies without taking away the feel of it.
Should I not spare you people on what does the movie actually reveals? Well we all know that the title it self reveals half the story. Its about how this psycho hannibal became what he is. So the case notes from the previous 2 movies are re-enacted but somehow the way he gets to each of the war criminal is simply too simple. The lead were only dog tags and a log of sorts. And after finding the goons all he did was extort the information out on the rest of the team one by one before killing them anyways.
But what I would celebrate is the gore and way the murders hannibal committed took place. It really depicts someone who is ultimately bent on revenge and at the same time it developed into the liking for human flesh.
As far as cinematography is concerned there is not much to shout about. The acting is only so-so. It certainly wont win anything on the red carpet as far as I could see it. But I love it for everything else it has. That would certainly gore, gore and more gore~! My rating?? 3 and a half human cheeks~! Heheheheh~!
